It's people like you and others who are over 35 that continue to impress me with your physiques. At 18-30 most males stay in pretty good shape, but once most of them get married, buy a house and have some kids, they let it all go and always say I used to be............

I'm guessing he is that vascular and natural. I'm the same way, and the leaner I get, the freakier then veins become. He probably isn't huge overall, but due to his lack of body fat, and the way he has small joints with muscle bellies that seem to jump out at you, he looks far bigger than he is alluding by standing alone with a camera. This is not discrediting him by any means. Just that if you put him next to Darrem Charles or Dexter Jackson (meaning some of the smaller guys in the IFBB) you will see how small he might be. Excellent work C-Sharp.

I'm only 175 lbs at 5'8", and about 180 in the pics. Not huge by any standards, and pics can be misleading. I like to think I'd be a little bigger if I was on the sauce, though.

I've gone up to 200 and looked like a lard ass. I've gone down to 155 and had striations in my ass. Bodybuilding has been a hobby of mine, as well as playing guitar, for the last 25 years. I'm looking more at living a healthy lifestyle than getting huge and competing, though I've been following pro BB'ing since I saw Pumping Iron back in the 70's. Heck, I've been reading the boards for 5 years or so and only decided to post recently. There's always something interesting to read around here.

lmao @ the 'stache. It's actually a goatee, which I sported for a whopping 2 weeks.

I stopped taking the rec drugs over 10 years ago. Mostly freebasing blow at the end, but I've done most everything. Started to smarten up a little in my late 20's. Never did a lot of drugs, but I've done more than I should have.

If anyone saw me in person, they would realize I'm not juicin'. Not that it matters, but I lift for health reasons, as well as esthetic. I eat a well balanced diet with moderate protein and complex carb intake, and as many raw veggies as I can consume in one day. Been eating the same damn meals for 15 years. I've been doing this for 25 years and plan on lifting for another 50 or so.

I know I shouldn't post a face pic after seeing all the f'n photoshopped pics (which are hilarious btw), but living a healthy lifestyle keeps you young. From what I've read, which I could be wrong about, gear ages your appearance.
